A land free from destruction(毁灭，破坏), plus wealth, natural resources, and labor supply --　 all these were important　 31　　　 　in helping England to become the center for the Industrial Revolution.　 32　　　 　they were not enough. Something else was needed to start the industrial process. That "something special" was men -- 33　　　 　individuals who could invent machines, find new 　34　　 　of power, and establish business organizations to reshape society. The men who created the machines of the Industrial Revolution　 35　　 　from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were　 36　　　 　inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research　 37　　　 　.He is not necessarily working　 38　　　 　that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is all trying to make something that has a concrete use. He may try to solve a problem by　 39　　　 　the theories　 40　　　 　science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a　 41　　　 　result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb(灯泡), or one of　 42　　　 　other objectives. Most of the people who　 43　　　 　the machines of the Industrial Revolution were inventors, not trained scientists. A few were both scientists and inventors. Even those who had little or no training in science might not have made their inventions　 44　　　 　a groundwork had not been laid by scientists years 45　　　 .
